Chapter 19: A New Beginning

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The night sky over Konoha was clear, with countless stars twinkling brightly above the village. The air was cool, carrying a gentle breeze that rustled the leaves of the surrounding trees. Inside a small, cozy room at the edge of the Uzumaki residence, Naruto and Hinata sat together, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight.

It had been a long day filled with celebration. The village had come together to witness the wedding of Naruto Uzumaki, the Hero of Konoha, and Hinata Hyuga, the gentle and kind heiress of the Hyuga clan. The event had been nothing short of spectacular—laughter, food, music, and the joy of friends and loved ones. But now, after all the excitement, the couple finally found themselves alone.

Naruto, still in his white ceremonial kimono, was sitting on the floor with his back resting against the wall, a contented smile on his face. His spiky blonde hair looked a little messier than usual, a sign of the long day. He looked at Hinata, who was sitting beside him, her hands neatly folded in her lap, her face glowing with a quiet happiness.

Hinata was still wearing her wedding attire, a beautiful white kimono adorned with delicate floral patterns. Her dark blue hair, which had been carefully styled earlier in the day, now cascaded down her shoulders, framing her pale, radiant face. Her lavender eyes, full of warmth and love, were fixed on Naruto, her husband.

There was a comfortable silence between them as they sat together, enjoying the peace after the whirlwind of the day’s events. Hinata glanced shyly at Naruto, her heart swelling with emotion. She had loved him for as long as she could remember, and now, they were finally starting their life together as husband and wife.

Naruto broke the silence, his voice soft and filled with affection. “I still can’t believe we’re married, Hinata. It feels like a dream.”

Hinata smiled, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. “I feel the same, Naruto-kun. It’s... it’s everything I’ve ever wished for.”

Naruto chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck in his usual bashful manner. “I know I’m not the perfect guy... I’ve messed up so many times, and I know I’ve made you wait a long time... but I’m gonna do my best to make you happy. I promise.”

Hinata reached out and gently took his hand, her fingers intertwining with his. “You already make me happy, Naruto-kun. Just being with you... that’s all I’ve ever wanted.”

Naruto felt his heart skip a beat at her words. He looked at her, his blue eyes shining with admiration and love. He had always admired Hinata’s strength, her kindness, and the quiet determination she carried within her. She had believed in him when no one else did, and now, standing by her side felt like the most natural thing in the world.

“You’re amazing, Hinata,” Naruto said softly, his voice sincere. “I don’t know what I did to deserve you.”

Hinata’s blush deepened, but she smiled at him, her heart full. “You’ve always been my inspiration, Naruto-kun. From the moment I first saw you... I knew you were someone special.”

Naruto’s smile softened, and he leaned in closer, his forehead gently touching hers. “I’m the lucky one,” he whispered.

They stayed like that for a moment, their foreheads touching, their hands still entwined. The world outside seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in the quiet, intimate space they now shared.

Naruto pulled back slightly, his eyes locking onto hers. “Hinata... thank you for loving me. I know I wasn’t always the best at noticing things, but I’m so glad I noticed you.”

Hinata’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears of happiness. “I’ll always love you, Naruto-kun. No matter what.”

Naruto smiled, and without another word, he leaned in and kissed her gently. It was a tender, slow kiss—full of warmth, love, and the promise of a future they would face together. Hinata’s heart raced, but she felt at peace in his arms, as if everything had finally fallen into place.

When they parted, Naruto rested his forehead against hers again, his breath mingling with hers. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you,” he whispered.

Hinata closed her eyes, her voice soft and full of emotion. “Me too.”

They spent the rest of the night wrapped in each other’s presence, talking about their hopes and dreams for the future. It was a night of quiet moments, gentle touches, and unspoken promises—an intimate beginning to the life they would now share.

As the hours passed and the moonlight bathed them in its silver glow, Naruto and Hinata knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, hand in hand, their love guiding them through.
